ESPN is repeating it at 4 a.m.<BR/><BR/>John, keep up the good work! I cannot believe that guy didn't realize Kurt's car is sponsored by a rival beer company. Too ridiculous! Where did they dig up these guys and why can't their production assistants at least research this stuff before giving them their scripts every night. I haven't watched the show after the first 3 weeks.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl<BR/>www.speedcouch.comCherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16058806676266195529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-41844130315628848582007-04-26T13:16:00.000-04:002007-04-26T13:16:00.000-04:00thank you,, this show is a joke...bring back rpm t...thank you,, this show is a joke...bring back rpm tonight...still the best daily show devoted to racing..shake and bake....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-7878828275549457632007-04-25T23:34:00.000-04:002007-04-25T23:34:00.000-04:00Brewer is good, he knows his stuff.

Although I wish Fox would keep their coverage for the entire season, I hoped ESPN would do a better job than TNT. But, if Nascar Now is any indication, and if their coverage of the Busch races is a precursor to what's going to happen in a few weeks, I'm not looking forward to what ESPN is going to do with Nascar. The people they've hired leave much to be desired. Is this the best Nascar can do? Is there any chance of "cross hiring" Nascar experts from other networks, ie. Speed? If not, it's going to be a very long season, and Nascar will see a huge decline in viewership. <BR/><BR/>And BTW, what's with the delay of this week's Busch race to 4am on Sunday morning? If ESPN has too much on their plate to cover Nascar properly, I think we need to tell Nascar that they need to look elsewhere for broadcast rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26607153537502489852007-04-25T18:28:00.000-04:002007-04-25T18:28:00.000-04:00DALY, keep up the good work.

The really terrible thing about ESPN's half-hearted, we-know-everything approach to racing and NASCAR coverage is that it keeps the pressure off SPEED to step up their coverage of racing during the week.

I swear he said, "Is it because he was on the POLE?"<BR/><BR/>It rather confirmed all you've been saying and if there are those who feel you critize too much (I often get the same comments), just tell them that if they don't give you the ammunition you won't have to shoot.<BR/><BR/>C.

I don't have SPEED channel so I was excited that ESPN was going to be doing a daily show on NASCAR. I eagerly counted down the days until it came on and then when it did they give us hosts who clearly know absolutely nothing about NASCAR, or racing in general. ESPN did such a great job with RPM tonight, why not just bring those guys back? NASCAR Now is so disappointing that you have to question ESPN's actual commitment to NASCAR if they can't even get a host for their flagship racing show that knows anything about racing. I'm already fearing what they're going to do this fall when they actually start to broadcast the races. <BR/><BR/>Between ESPN, race broadcasts filled with commercials and mysterious debris cautions this whole season is quickly becoming a major disappointment.

I think they should do more on the Busch series, give more info and stats. Get rid of all of the hosts and put Alan Bestwick in. He, at least, knows about NASCAR, and knows how to ask the right questions. Ryan is ok, but not Banks and the other guy, can't think of his name.
